Three Atlanta area landfills are now generating
24 megawatts of electricity.

Phoenix-based Republic Services Inc. and Ponte Vedra,
Florida-based Mas Energy LLC have
unveiled a series of landfill-gas-to-energy projects in the Atlanta
area. The three systems are located at landfills in the cities of
Buford, Griffin and Winder, Georgia. Together, the facilities are
capable of generating 24.1 megawatts (mW) of electricity, or enough
to power 15,665 households, according to Republic Services.

"The modern landfill presents new opportunity to harness energy
from yesterday's waste and convert it to meet tomorrow's energy
needs," says Jamey Amick, area president of Republic Services. "We
are proud to partner once again with Mas Energy to generate a
renewable energy source that makes a meaningful and lasting
environmental difference in the state of Georgia."
